This species is distinguished from congeners by the following combination of characters: Generally densely microtomentose, whitish gray to blackish gray. Moderately small shore flies, body length 2.55 mm.
<pageBreakToken pageId="109" pageNumber="110" start="start">Head</pageBreakToken>
: Frons mostly yellow, ocellar triangle gray; area immediately laterad of ocellar triangle brownish yellow; fronto-orbits whitish gray; pseudopostocellar setae well developed, length subequal to proclinate fronto-orbital seta. Antenna yellow; arista bearing 5-6 dorsally branching rays. Face mostly faintly yellow, becoming more whitish yellow ventrally and on dorsal portion of antennal grooves; bearing 3 larger setae in vertical row and with a small seta at ventral extent of row. Eye ratio 0.80. Gena high, mostly silvery white, gena-to-eye ratio 0.35. Thorax: Mesonotum mostly faintly grayish tan, becoming grayer laterally; pleural areas gray. Wing ratio 0.42; costal vein ratio 0.41; M vein ratio 0.54. Femora gray with extreme apex yellowish, medial surface of hindfemur shiny, reddish yellow; tibiae mostly yellowish with some sparse whitish to whitish gray microtomentum, especially hindtibia medially; tarsi yellow. Abdomen: Tergites 2-4 with wide medial stripe bronzish brown, gray laterally; tergite 5 mostly gray, truncate apically, bearing 4 larger apical setulae, length of larger setulae equal to width of tergite at apex. Male terminalia (Figs 200-203): Epandrium in posterior view (Fig. 200) more or less cordate, wide on dorsal half, tapered ventrally to a narrow, truncate ventral apex, dorsal margin broadly connected, width of dorsal connection in lateral view equal to width of a cercus, epandrium in lateral view (Fig. 201) becoming widest at midheight, thereafter tapered to point ventrally; cercus semi-hemispherical in posterior or lateral views (Fig. 200-201), height about twice width, overall height about 1/3 length of epandrium; phallapodeme and aedeagus fused, in ventral view (Fig. 202) rectangular, lateral margins parallel sided, apex truncate, base rounded, in lateral view (Fig. 203) as a fish tail apically; gonite in lateral view (Fig. 203) broadly bifurcate with dorsal and posterior prongs, both narrow, digitiform, ventral prong slightly longer and more robust, in ventral view (Fig. 202) rod-like, shallowly curved, with a midlength, short, bud-like prong.
